Hi Dan, and Folks, John Linville did some research in his collection of
old Honest Charley catalogs and came up with documentation (forwarded
below) that the Schiefer and Weber aluminum flywheels are FORGED, not
cast.
Thought my ox was going to get gored there for a while. It has been
before. Cheers, ArdunBill

Hey found it quicker than I thought. This is from a 1965 1/2 Honest Charley
catalog (my favorite study hall reading material in high school). Page 12,
Schiefer FORGED aluminum flywheels. The ad lists the following Schiefer
part numbers for flatheads 4402, 4403, and 4404. These are all forged. By
the way they cost $38.81 back then. Hope this helps. By the way the Webers
were forgings too.
regards, John

Hey John, now I LIKE this message!! How can we tell they are "forged"
not diecast or sandcast?
I never heard of one of these Schiefer flywheels exploding, did you? On
the contrary, I always thought they were the last word in flywheel
technology. Even though mine is maybe 45 years old, my FAA-licensed
aircraft engine rebuilder zygloed it carefully, certified it officially
crack-free, and said, "It looks fine to me."
Thanks, ArdunBill
